ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Pelicans 10/14/2025 (Preseason)

Poor Reed is gonna be locked in the doghouse until post all-star break.

 

Lol glad its preseason, because if reg then I might be pissed at that end of the 1st

 

I blame the collapse on Reed.

 

With Ime, you know no matter how ill conceived a lineup is, you'll see it again. It's crazy how an otherwise good coach can be so terrible at one aspect like that.

 

OR IF SILAS WERE STILL THE COACH

 

Great point. He looks lost out there .. second guessing himself. That was as bad as I have seen him play

 

Reed Sheppard is more divisive than a certain real estate guy in Washington.

Everybody already loves him or hates him, and nobody is ever going to change their mind.

 

Maybe Holinger was right.

If this is the dress rehearsal like Ime says, this team isnt winning 60 games.

These lineups are awful.

 

We could've gotten Buzelis or Castle smh

 

Here we go blaming everyone but Reed for Reed's bad play starts.

Reed has to earn the starting spot with good performance if he isnt playing well why does he need to be comfortable with the starting lineup?

The bench is best for Reed he is our Jeremiah Fears.

 

I hope Eason isn't trusted with ball handling during the season

 

Yeah it's really not been a good look for him so far tbh, which is a shame because I hoped he was serious when he said he'd got tons better.

 

Reed seems like he can't handle the pressure

 

lmao. guard play really might be the death of us this year. I counted 5 live ball turnovers of us just giving the ball to the other team in that first quarter.

 

hits a three.......................

 

Maybe he meant that to see if anyone would step up and claim that starting spot.

He did say we knew who the 4 starters are and the 5th is up in the air.

I guess we'll see. Maybe it'll be situational throughout the year. I don't think the Adams lineup was bad at all, you could definitely get away starting games like that but he can only play so many games a year too.

 

Reed had that 3 or a shot at the elbow there, but decided to make the tough pass. He just plays nervous and like a mental midget.

 

Amen is better than reed right now at PG but I like amen better at his normal position. Gives him more opportunities to slash

 

I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, REED IS AWESOME

 

He's like the new Jalen Green, but without being allowed to start, or having any huge scoring games, or any mid scoring games, or any real games worth speaking about.
